Hard isn't it sorry glad you try meds hope they work they take time and it is normal to feel worse before they start to work hope they do let me know how you get on I have same read this and was me but without meds so least you trying and getting help and hopefully on the path to sort it out good luck
Hi yes there is an end -today i feel good,about 80% of my normal self + am going to work this pm.10days ago i thought i wld never get well either from the illness or from side effects of pills -i lost a lot of weight as i was not eating So stay with it.
Thanx sugarcoat what meds u on? N how long u been on them?
I will nick it's so tough having mental illness
There is an end don't give up hope. Some days are better than others but if you make allowances for the bad you'll appreciate the good. Find comfort
Contd- in knowing tomorrow's another day and that your not alone. I find keeping myself busy helps me get through anxiety spells 
I wish there were good days 
Try to keep positive honestly good days will come you need to have faith and not allow anxiety and depression to rule your life
Hi Dizzydoll, I think most of us on here will say you tend to feel worse at the start as the effects of the meds are not immediate but can take a few weeks before you notice any difference. The difference will be slight but take it as a sign that they are starting to help and that every day that passes is a day closer to getting and feeling better. Accept that you will have bad days in between and that they are not set backs just part and parcel of your recovery.
I used to have no qualms in speaking to my GP either on the phone or appointment and just because he said "see you in a month", if I wanted info or reassurance I'd make contact, or search for info on the net, or as you've done on this site.
Anxiety and deoression are bed fellows so it's normal, Nick is also right.
It is hard Dizzydoll but hang on to the fact that you will get better.
Hi dizzy doll, just thought I would let you know how I am feeling on day 14 of CIT. Last posted on day 9. Thought I was not going to improve, however slept better last night , woke up this morning and anxiety was less than other mornings, went grocery shopping ( not to good) . Then by mid morning I felt different a lot calmer. Still had a few anxious thoughts but they passed quickly. I know tomorrow I may feel different, but fingers crossed I hope this is me turning a corner. Just remember it will get better( did not think I would be able to say that) I think from day 12 I have felt slightly better and today I actually took the dog for a walk without being forced to, felt good. I will let you know how I go. X
Oh that's good news I'm on day 9 now n Im just loosing the will to live but yeah keep in touch hun x
been on sertraline/zoloft for 5 weeks tomorrow -i still hav 2 remind myslf that it is still early days + that i will have off days -i'm having one today + yet sunday i felt really great.Annoying but that's life as my wife says
It's tough what I'd give just to feel normal
hey-if u break ur leg u go to hospital,if ur head has a problem go get it fixed
Feeling like you at the moment. I stopped anti depressant last year after 20 years as doctor suggested it. The medication stopped anxiety and depression. I am loathe to go back on medication. You will feel worse before you feel better, but I do hope you feel some relief soon. I know exactly how you are feeling. What to do? Keep taking the bCitalopram and let us know how you get on. I wish I knew what to do with myself.
Take care and keep in touch
Glad you are feeling better. I am having a bad day today. I don't want to go back on medication but can't cope.
